You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception being itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases

  • I have a new laptop. How do I get my music off my ipod touch into itunes? It wants to sync and destroy months of work. Thanks

    I have a new laptop. My iPod touch was synced to itunes on my old laptop. Now that I have my new laptop I can't get the music from my Ipod into the new itunes. So, when it wants to sync it wants to delete all of my songs and replace them with what is in itunes now. How do I get my months of work collating music onto my new laptop so I can add more?
    Thanks

    John, did you ever get a resolution to your question?  I have the same issue.  The computer is LONG gone and I have no way to recover the library from it.  What did you end up doing?

  • New Hard drive and mother board, how do I get my music off my ipod?

    Hi all,
    I recently had my headphone jack replaced and Apple was nice enough to also replace my mother board and my hardrive! I neglected to back up my music, and now all my music is on my Ipod and I don't know what to do.
    Is there any way to export my music from the ipod to my computer?
    Thanks!

    There is a program or two that you could download and use to transfer files from Ipod to Computer. Senuti is the one I have used. Works great and is free.

    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
    The ipod is not a backup/storage device.

    Edit > Preferences > Store check Music under Automatic Downloads.
    Open the iTunes Store from left hand column, then select Purchasedfrom the column on the right, click the Not In My Library button and select the tunes you want to download again.
    That said, you seem to be under a misapprehension as to how iTunes works, or at least how it has worked in the past. It has, until recently, been up to you take care of your purchases once they have been downloaded. You had a one-time download which you were reminded to back up. With the recent change to this policy you can at least download your store purchases again, but having a personal backup of your iTunes store purchases, stuff purchased elsewhere and files ripped from your CDs will still be preferable to gathering all the stuff together again in the event of a disaster.

    Transfer the iTunes folder from your old computer to your new computer. It's in your My Music >> iTunes folder. You'll probably need an external hard drive to do this. Make sure you upgrade the old and the new computers to the latest iTunes before transferring your music to the new machines.

  • How do I get my music off my iPod Touch?

    I had a virus and had to delete all the data on my computer. I am now setting iTunes up again and I tried to get my songs off my iPod touch. It transfered only a small portion of my music, only the songs I had purchased in the past few months or so. I am authorized on this computer, and the few songs I got by trying to sync the songs off my ipod. How do I get my music off my iPod so I can listen to it on my computer?

    You'll likely need the assistance of some third party software to help you recover the non-iTunes purchased music.  See this older thread for a few possibilities.

  • How can I get my music from my iPod onto my iTunes library?

    I google searched it and everyone said to go onto 'my computer' and select the device and then go to tools to view the music folder however I do not have an option of tools, is there any other way I can get my music from my iPod onto my iTunes library?

    By following the instructions here.  Note that you can't backup the iPod or sync apps.
